A procla- mation by President Lincoln transfering | all mechanics to Washington Arsenal, | however, kept him out of actual opera- tions until March, 1863, when he joined the 1st Regiment, Maryland Volunteer Cavalry, being wounded on one of its numerous engagements. | In the Fall of 1864, Baxter, then a | sergeant, was carrying a message from Sheridan to Tolbert, when he was trap- ped by the Confederates.

Grorge Wilcox of New Bedford, Mass., must serve 30 years in the penitentiary, imposed on him last year by Chief Jus- tice McCoy in Criminal Division 1, ac- cording to an opinion of the District Coutt of Appeals. Wilcox was, convicted of participants with Eddie Tate and Francis Kloss in three cases of house- breaking and larceny in July and Au- gust, 1928. Tate is servin, 40 years and Kloss 30 years for the same offenses. They did not appeal. A According mppAcssislnnl United States Attorney Willlam H. Collins, the men broke into the Peoples Drug Stor: at Tenth and F streets and into one of the Old Dutch Markets and were appre- hended while entering the Cinderella Boot Shop. The appellate court found there was no reversible error committed by the trial judges Will Rogers Says: NEW YORK CITY.—McAdoo final- 1y come out for Smith, and to offset that Democratic gain, why Coolidge come out for Hoover. So that leaves only myself in the open. I have been studying the two parties, and here is their difference: Hoover wants all the drys and as many wets as possible; Smith wants all the wets and as many drys as he can get. Hoover says he will relieve the farmer, even if he has to call Congress; Smith says he will re- lieve the farmer, even if he has to appoint a com- mission. Hoover says the teriff will be kept up; Smith says the tariff will not ~be lowered. Hoover is strong- ly in favor of prosperity; Smith highly indorses prosperity. Hoo- ver wants no votes merely on ac- count of religion; Smith wants no votes solely on religious grounds. ‘But both would accept the Moham- maden vote if offered. Hoover would like to live in the White House; Smith is not adverse to living in the ‘White House. And, in order to get in there, either one will promise to voters anything from perpetual motion to eternal salva- tion. So I am out openly for my- self. If I have any religion, T have at want the Constitution changed, or if I want it left as it is, I know that's the peoples busines mine. I have never spent 20 years abroad, nor have I spent 20 years in the shade of Brooklyn Bridge. I have neither lived off taxpayers or corporations. If I was born of poor parents, either in city of farm, I have kept it a personal af- fair. I am not the “greatest ad- ministrator of all time,” neither am I “the greatest executive a State ever ha I have never fed the Belgians, nor hate I kept Tammany Hall from starving for eight years. In fact, so little is known about me that I must be just about a normal American. If defeated, I will have less squawks, or alibis. I have promised nothing, and am the only one of th> three that can make good. So to offest Coolidge and McAdoo, I come out for myself. SMITH “AVALANCHE” FORECAST BY RASKOB Democratic Chairman Has “Abid- | ing Faith” in “Common Sense” of Voters. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 5-—John J. Raskob, Democratic national chairman, declared last night that he had “an abiding faith that the common sense of the American people will prevail and that Gov. Smith and Senator Robinson will receive an avalanche of votes that will spell the greatest victory In the his- tory of our country.” “Due to the loyalty, patriotism, en- ergy and generosity of thousands of eainest men and women in every one of the 48 States we have been able to accomplish wonders in getting before the electorate the purposes of the Dem- ocratic party,” he said in a statement summing up the Democratic campaign. “On_all issues the Democrats under Gov. Smith have taken a position in accordance with the spirit both of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I am satisfied that the great intelligent American electorate will march on election day on the road of progress with Gov. Smith.” ARRESTED IN SLAYING.

'WOMEN ARE JAILED FOR SHOPLIFTING Alexandrians Sentenced in Polic Court After Admitting Their Guilt. Admitting the theft of a quantity of wearing apparel from local stores, Miss Lucille De Witt, 19 years old, and Mrs. Olie Weaver, both of Alexandria, Va, drew jail sentences from Judge Isaac R. Hitt today in Police Court, the dength of the terms being indeter- minate pending report of probation of- ficers. Four charges of petty larceny were placed against Miss De Witt and five against Mrs. Weaver. After telling of arresting the women and finding a large shopginz bag filled with stolen goods in the possession of each, Mrs. Cecelia A. Clark of the Women'’s Bureau informed Judge Hitt neither had any previous record. Arlington County social workers reported that Mrs. Weaver was the mother of four chil- dren and that her husband had de- serted the family. Asked if she had anything to say, Miss De Witt answered in the affirma- tive, but broke down before she reached the witness stand. Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Bruce recom- mended a thorough investigation of the entire case by probation officers. Pend ing the completion of the investiga- Jon Judge Hitt imposed sentence of 30 days on each charge. PEDESTRIAN RIGHTS ON INTERSECTIONS DEFINED BY COURT ___(Continued From First Page.) serve the situation, but to wait until the crossing is clear, “Many automobile drivers,” continues the court, “seem to imagine that with the shift of the signal they are given a clear right-of-way against intersect- ing traffic. In this belief they reckless- ly start their machines regardless of persons who are already on the inter- section. It is the duty of drivers of machines to exercise the greatest vigi- lance and care under such circum- stances not only to have their machines under control, but to stop and wait until pedestrians have had an oppor- tumty to clear the erossing. “Failure to observe these precautions constitutes negligence on the part of the driver, which, in case of accident, is chargeable to him. The duty and responsibility imposed upon drivers of automobiles is measured by the possibil- ities of dangers attending their use upon the public highways. The auto- mobile is a vehicle of great weight, speed and power in contact with which the pedestrian is helpless.” Justice Van Orsdel suggests that auto drivers may consider the ruling “harsh,” but he thinks traffic conditions in crowded streets demand it for the pro- tection of life and limb. “As a matter of public policy and public interest,” the court says, “drivers of automobiles should be held to the strictest accountability where pedes- trians are injured at public crossings | and there should be no laxity on the part of the courts in applying the rule | of negligence in such cases.” G. 0. P. RALLIES TONIGHT. Special Dispatch to The Star. CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md., November 5.—Republican rallies will be held to- night in Odd Fellows' Hall here and in Fairmont Hall, Fairmont Heights, at 8 o'clock. Rufus Gibbs will preside at the mecting here and Mrs.. Helen Car- | doza at Fairmont Heights. Speakers at the Capitol Heights rally will be Oliver Metzerott, nominee for Congress in the fifth-Maryland district; Thomas P. Littlepage, elector for the fifth congressional district of Maryland; William H. Collins, assistant district attorney of Washington, D. C.; George McNeil, also of Washington, and Mayor Thomas J. Luckett of Capitol Heights. Mr. Metzerott, Mr. Littlepage and Mrs. Helen Richardson will speak at the Fairmont Heights rally, ; had returned as president of th> board chorus of that cast. | With a smile, the Democratic nominee | looked the youngsters over and said ! that about 20 years ago he had been | introduced at the Newsboys' Home at | Duane and Chambers streeis as a mem- | ber of the New York Assembly, but had made only a slight mpression. | “A few years later I came back and | was introduced to them as the sherifl.” he continued. “Well, they had been looking at the movies and reading some | Wild West stories, and certainly had | some prominent place in their idea of public officials, becavse I remember the | day that I was introduced as the sheriff | 1 got such a loud cheer in comparision | with that which they were willing to give to an assemblyman.

He also was photographed sitting at the dinner table with a group | of newshoys, most of whom were in thelr shirt slecves, although other mem- bers of th» cost wore full evening dress. | CALIFORNIA OPENS l ARMS TO HOOVER | AS HE SPEEDS HOME | (Continued From First Page.) cleve between 375 and 400 electoral | votes out of the total of 531 in the electoral college. It is understood he showed the statement to Hoover before releasing it. | Williams said that “if the people in the country and the small towns go to | the polls” Hoover will carry the West, | Midwest and Middle Atlantic States | alone with 300 electoral votes, and that | he believes an additional hundred votes | will come from States he has not sur-| veyed. Stafes “in the bag.” he said, are | ‘Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, | Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, North and South Da- | kota, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, | Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Mis- | souri, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Ken-| tucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, | New Jersey and Delaware. } Drift toward Mr. Hoover in Wis!:\')n-‘I sin, Maryland and North Carolina will! give him those States, too, he thinks. | 2,000 Give Ovation. At Ogden about 2,000 persons gave Hoover an ovation as he appeared with Mrs. Hoover on the rear platform of | heir private car. He repeated what he | ad told the crowd at Salt Lake about his unwillingness to make a politicai | speech on Sunday, but added, “We have only one thing to look forward to now, and that is Tuesday.” A number of small children were lifted up by proud parents and Hoover chook their hands. This started another | --uteropping of extended hands, and the | crush became so alarming that police pushed the people back. A blind ex- soldier was led into the car, and the nominee shook hands with him, too. From Ogden the train headed for the | Great Salt Lake through fertile valleye, ! squeezed between snow-iestooned moun- tains of the Wasatch range. While other members of the party wondered at the quiet vastness of the saline in- land sea, as settlers of covered wagon days had wondered, or exclaimed over {the grandeur of cloud-wreathed peaks |or the desert stretches beneath them flecked with sagebrush, Hoover picked up Beveridge's “Life of Lincoln” and | became engrossed in the story of the Great Emancipator. Later on he tired of reading, ex- i cused himself and went to his com- | | partment for a nap. He slept so long | | that he had to call off plans for a con- | ference with the newspaper men in the | later afternoon, postponing it for this morning. | Hoover’s only relaxation on the trip | has been reading. He has seized eager- | ly the few opportunities afforded to 1oz at books, magazines or newspapers. Th: rest of his days have been filled with handshaking, speechmaking or dictating. Secretaries Are Busy. Hoover's personal secretarial staffl has had a pretty busy time of it. The stafl includes Misses Myra McGrath, Ann G. Shankey and Ruth Fesler, to which may be added the name of Mrs. Hoo- ver's own secretary, Miss Mildred Hall. They mainta’n offices on the car ad- joining the Hoover private car. Allan Hoover, younger son of the nominee, divides his time between the private car, the offices and the press cars. He | mingles with the crowds at the varicus stat ons, wholly unrecognized and thor- oughly enjoying his experiences. A motion picture machine and a portable phonograph have been set up in the club car, and at night the mem- bers of the party «ho have completed their tasks adjourn to the car and en- joy the latest comedics. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover have not found tim2 to join these parties, but Satur- day night they sent in a crate of | luscious apples for the bunch to munch. ‘The apples were a gift from a Kansan. | A\ th«lher you rent or whether you buy, You pay for the home you oceupy.” -Warren Chassis Wor! of all kinds GILCARL TNcomToRATLO Montg.
